international diabetes closed loop (idcl) trial: research site training protocol

Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

Summary: the objective of the study is for clinical staff to gain experience using the proposed artificial pancreas system named incontrol and the incontrol cloud and assess 24/7 in-home usability prior to initiating a large randomized controlled trial.

participation in this study will require 5 study visits over 2-4 weeks. * visit 1: screening/enrollment visit to assess study eligibility. * visit 2: continuous glucose monitor (cgm) training and initiation session based upon current or prior use of a cgm; if subject doesn't currently use a cgm, subject will be trained and may be asked to wear the cgm at home for 1 week. * visit 3: subjects will be taught how to use the study insulin pump. * visit 4: subjects will be trained on the use of incontrol and wear it at home for 14 days. * visit 5: subjects will return study equipment and to complete questionnaire.
